A BALLROOM IN ST. LOUIS, MO

About Us

Tucked into the lower level of the historic St. Francis Xavier College Church, the Xavier Grand Ballroom in St. Louis, Missouri, fuses the magnificence of an illustrious venue with the charm of small hideaway places idyllic for photos and stolen kisses. The Grand Ballroom rises above the bustling city streets like a wedding cake, tiers of windows punctuating each level. Twelve dignified columns pepper the space with elegance, while large stained glass windows open to the grandeur of Saint Louis University lawns. For couples envisioning an evening ceremony, St. Francis Xavier's grounds offer a colorful spraying water fountain and beautifully lit church as the backdrop. For an indoor ceremony, domed ceilings are defined by dancing lines and curved arches welcome guests to sit along the perimeter.

One of the sublime places for first-look photo sessions is along the expansive stone steps leading up to the arched wooden doorways of the ballroom. Catered by the experts at Russo Catering, couples and guests are treated to a delectable palate of options when celebrating at St. Francis Xavier College Church.

The Xavier Grand Ballroom
